Google Services Battery Drain Stats - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed a week or so ago that my battery suddenly started draining quite fast. I saw other threads that imply that something has happened with Google services is the culprit, but no real details as to why. This morning, after a day outside in the cold and snow and of almost no use of my phone I looked at my battery and it was down to 59%. Looked at stats and found the following use numbers:
Screen use: 9% - So phone hardly used
App use: 67%
Google Services: 29%
Under Google services I found the following and wonder if this is the problem and what could be causing it?
Wake locks: 19,983
# of times waking device: 2789
Thanks.

Where is Recovery and Cache Partition? I don't see any of that on my phone.
Do you see the wake stats I posted as normal?

Google booting into recovery with note 3, then scroll down into clear cache partition. Don't do a full wipe cause that will delete everything

Still waiting for a solution to this problem. I even wiped my whole phone, unrooted, and went back to stock. Android OS is still the highest on the battery consumption list and I did not have anything signed in or logged in. Something is going on in these Google apps it's funny cause again I have nothing installed and my android os is taking so much battery.

I am having the same problem as well. Android OS and Google apps suck the life out of my phone. I have tried different ROMs as well but I still don't get good batt life even with SYNC GPS off.

OTA battery drain [XXJVK]

Are you having high battery drain with XXJVK firmware, or any other 2.2.1 firmware?
Does your Battery Use shows high CPU usage time on Android OS?
Then, check if you ever had Software Updates logged in! I noticed high battery usage once I logged in for OTA updates. Possibly, the device is retrying the connection to update server (which will always return timeout). You can see the Software Update service running all the time once you logged in.
If you have logged in Software Updates, go Settings->Applications->Manage Application->All->Software Update->Clear Data
Once you have logged out from Software Updates, the service disappears and personally, battery life doubled.
Thanks, i will try it!
It really could be the last chance to solve my idle-drain-prob.
i'll report back.
//edit: cleared data, service automatically stopped. i'll report back tomorrow if it solves my drain-thing.
Yup i had it running too since boot.. cleared data and will report back
Let's hope this is the answer. I've just took the drastic measure of doing a hard reset and now battery drain is pretty much zero and phone is idle when screen is off. I'll keep installing and enabling things and see what takes more battery.
Very interesting, I did check if there were any updates, and I suffered from random battery drain. At first I suspected Google Maps/Navigation, but you could be right. I started Maps, and Navigation, killed en cleared OTA, and I am monitoring the battery.
I have found that when i use the built in task manager to "clear memory" as soon as i have done that the battery drains alot faster and my android OS in battery stats goes through the roof (from 5% to something like 14%). It has been running fine since yesterday and i cleared memory only to find my battery went very quickly from 28% to 9%. I rebooted the device and all is well, i wont be using that option anymore
After installing jvk full I installed jve modem, rooted and did battery stats wipe and battery issues went away.
i lost 25% over night in airplane mode
background & sync = off.
after clearing dalvik cache & battery recalibration using battery calibrator from market i have 5-7% drain per night, and 30-40% per day... last battery time was 2d 19h 14m, with some calls, some games, some wi-fi and some hsdpa & with weather widget update every hour.
info
i9000 + JVK (repartition 512, with bootloader) + CF Root
P.S before clearing dalvik cache & battery recalibration with same use i have maximum battery life - 23h
Clear the data for "Samsung Account".

There's something very wrong with your phone, either your battery's shot or there's a rogue program draining it, you shouldn't lose more than 1-2% overnight in airplane mode.
Same problem here. I hate this device...
Is it just me that think battery life is much better than on froyo?

I'm seeing huge battery drain like others, sometimes more that 50% in a few hours doing absolutely nothing, wifi & 3G off and OS takes up to 60% of the battery usage. I never activated Automatice Updates since I flashed JVK. I am now on Darky's v10RC3. Only a few people are having such problems, most users say they are experiencing their best battery life ever.
I noticed that this drain always happened to me after I used Maps / Navigation. So I suspect them to create problems, maybe kicking off Software Update in a bad way. And rebooting stops the drain (it once took as long as a full flash for my phone to reboot...?).
So I have bought for $1 this nice app called Autostarts that shows which apps autostart, what triggers them to start and it is then possible to disable by app / event.
When I tap on Software Update, I can see that it kicks in on these occasions:
- After Startup
- Application installed
- Application removed
- SMS received
- Secret code entered
I disabled everything as well as for Map, so now it's no longer showing in running apps / processes.
Will follow this thread !

Spot on.
My Android OS battery usage is down to 3-5%.
Great find guys, Thanks a lot!
Also, a little suggestion here but I need someone to confirm.
Regarding Google Maps, I was having some trouble getting rid of Hotpot and Rate Places processes as they were constantly running for no reason and restart after I kill them. Another 13% drain. So yesterday I updated to Maps 5.3 and the processes are no longer there even though I've used Maps, Hotpot and Places
I upgraded with odin, repartition and bootloaders. Since now the battery life is very good, i can see the difference by eyes.

Battery draining problems

Hiya,
Ever since I got my phone replacement (Brand New in Box from Bell) I noticed that the battery drains 10% per hour regardless of my current clock speeds.
I'm only listening my music.
My mobile data is on.
Wifi is off.
I have ES Task Manager set to autokill when screen off
Details:
ROM- CyanogenMod Nightly #140
CPU Clock speeds- 245~368 Mhz
CPU Governer- ON DEMAND
VM Heap Size- 48m
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Just making sure I'm reading you right, you have es task manager killing apps? Android 2.2 doesn't have any need for that, and it may hurt your battery life.
First thing to check is to make sure any apps that sync (weather) aren't syncing every 15min, and change them to every few hours. If that still doesn't work, try a different battery. May just have a bad one.

Go into spare parts > battery history > partial wake usage
This will show apps that are running in the background that are using the battery. If there are any 'rogue' apps that aren't behaving properly, this should show it. You can also use Watchdog Lite from the Market (free) to monitor CPU usage of applications to try and find what is running down your battery.
Although, if you are listening to music, 10% drain per hour doesn't sound too much out of the ordinary.
Update: I stopped my music for roughly 45 minutes and it seems that music doesn't affect it much. It still drains.

Yea good call. And get rid of that task killer! No need for that, especially in CM7.
Having similar problems suddenly. I was getting nearly 24 hours of battery life with normal usage, but in the last 4-5 days the phone drains to death while in standby. Searched here and online and couldn't find anything other than the normal check apps, etc. But I haven't changed anything in months, and usage isn't showing anything out of the ordinary.
Is it possible my battery is hosed? Android OS says battery health is still "good", and outside of screen-off it seems to drain normally. I even left it on for about 30 minutes and lost 1%. But overnight it went from 100% to 1% in just short of 7 hours with absolutely no use. So bizarre...
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/2710?tstart=0
It's not just you.
I have same problem, with two different batteries, even after hard reset.
I have been having this problem the last two days as well. The t-mobile forum says to roll back the updates to the google maps app. I just rolled it back, will see if it helps.

Didn't help me.
Only turning on airplane mode helped me.
I think it's a TMO infrastructure/network problem of some sort, honestly. Maybe a bug with the deployment of 2.3?
Yeah didn't help me either.
I had my phone fully charged when i made the post earlier and it is now dead.
Hopefully they shed some light on this soon.
OK good I'm not crazy
One thing I noticed last night after draining and wiping battery stats again is when I woke up it said Dialer took up 49% of the battery usage? I charged to full with the phone off, turned it on and it sat on the nightstand until this morning. Received 2 texts during that time, no phone calls made or received, and my alarm is set at 6am on it and went off. Battery went from 100% to 19% in this state.
This is frustrating. I read the T-Mo thread and it's seeming more like network issues? Anyone else have this problem here on XDA?
EDIT: Customer Support is useless. Insistent that forum posts "mean nothing" and I need to pay them $20 to replace the phone. Also they have no logged issues on this, even though I've seen multiple posts of people who've called in. Sigh.
Also been experiencing the exact same problem with CM13X and CM151. I had uninstalled maps, which didn't improve anything, so I reinstalled it and it appears to be okay now
So far 1h16m since full charge after uninstalling Maps completely and rebooting and clearing cache, and battery is still 100% while sitting on my desk here at work. Also Dialer isn't showing 50% usage either. Hmmm.

[Q] Google Maps is consuming lots of battery

Over the weekend I bought a new Galaxy S4 on the Bell network in Canada (model SGH-I337M). I used it Saturday and Sunday without any problems, getting about 4-5 hours of screen on time per day. On Monday I went to work and used my phone a lot less, but noticed I only got about 2.5 hours of screen on time before I had run down the battery. I looked at the battery stats and saw that Maps was consuming a lot of battery (considering I had not opened Maps that day), but thought little of it. Yesterday my battery life was even lower, after 1 hour of screen on time I had about 50% battery left and Maps was responsible for 70% of battery usage.
Here are screenshots I took at the end of yesterday to show the battery consumption:
End of day screen on time
Battery graph (note that Maps is using about 70% of my battery)
Usage details for Maps
Why did Maps keep the phone awake for almost 2 hours when I didn't even open it? This morning I've been off the charger for 1.5 hours and Maps has already had 10 minutes of stay awake time.
I've rebooted the phone, disabled location sharing (Latitude), disabled GPS (as you can see though, Maps only used the GPS for 2.5 minutes) and I don't know what to do now to fix this. Does anyone know how I can stop this?

It seems like that's helped, for now at least...Maps still claims to be taking up most of the battery but stay awake time has only been about a minute and a half. Thanks!

I was using the weather widget that was already on the homescreen but I removed it to see if that was the problem, it wasn't.
Interestingly enough however it still says Maps is responsible for 63% of my battery usage...with 7 minutes 26 seconds of stay awake time after 10 hours. Screen (with 1.5 hours screen on time) is at 24%, and I have 52% battery remaining. I installed BetterBatteryStats but I don't see any unusual wakelocks or anything like that.
Sadly I do not have any advice to you. Just posting to let you know that I am also in the same boat.
For the past three days, Maps has done this. Today, it was fine. I changed nothing in between then and now. Weird.

Got my t-mobile UK 9005 yesterday and after just 30 mins Maps was using 14% of my battery second only to the screen. That's default just turned it on. Something very wrong here. (rebooted a few times and rooted)
Left the device over night first thing this morning checked battery. Maps 63% battery usage and battery had gone from 99% to 82% while just on standby. Something very wrong here!
Now I noticed that i have app like DailyMotion and Deezer installed for me that cant be uninstalled without a root app like debloater. Wondering if the issues here are less android OS and more badly behaving apps grabbing location data. (made all the more difficult by Plays auto download of old apps, hard to diagnose which app is the culprit)
Ive reset to factory settings and prevented any auto installs and after 3 mins theirs is no sign of Google Maps being used... wonder if we need to factory reset our device to wipe this issue out?
Can we start to collate the problem? Please state which handset model you have, firmware and network.

I've created a video explain the problem I had in more detail and show the fix that worked for me, hope it helps others:
I tried a factory reset last night but again this morning Maps was keeping the phone awake (about 5 minutes of stay awake time after an hour and a half off the charger). I disabled Location History in the Maps app and now Maps has dropped right off of the battery stats screen, and it's been gone for a couple of hours now. If anyone else is having this issue, it might be worth a shot - I don't use/care about Location History anyway.
HOW TO:
Go to : [Phone setting => Accounts => Google => Location setting => and TURN IT OFF!!]
Fully charge your phone and job done... no more maps on stats.......

Well it's about right mathematically. 5% = 10 mins so 100% = 200 mins = 3.3 hours of onscreen time. Personally max I've managed to get is 4 hours, very disappointing battery life so far for me.
There is another Maps / location power sucking app called Story Album ....Samsung Bloatware I guess. Anyway when you open the app, goto settings, click Home City > Select Method > set to None. In the lower part called Album content de-select City information, Location etc..
Turn off lication reporting and tick location sharing in maps app settings->location

[Q] Is Google Services suddenly draining battery for everyone else?

After the Google I/O announcements yesterday, I noticed I was draining battery a lot quicker than usual. I checked battery stats and Google Services was responsible for almost 70% of my battery usage - and this is continuing into today. See the screenshots below for what I mean:

I unchecked use GPS in location settings and it brought the battery usage down. There was an update to it yesterday and it seems to have started the battery issue again. I had issues with Google Services when I first got the phone.
My maps started going crazy yesterday. It was going higher than screen time in %. This also started yesterday.
Are you missing a Google update btw? My icon for Google Services appears as the google play puzzle piece.
Right now my Maps is at 26% and Google services is at 2%.though 4 hours in I am only down to 89%.

Mines was a puzzle piece also until I launched the play store and google services was updated. Now it's like the one OP showed.
I had the issue of maps being higher than screen on battery usage yesterday even though I hadnt opened maps in days. What I did was force stop maps and restart my phone. All seems well now. I also updated google search/now last night and it didnt affect anything.

Google music constantly runs in the background now. I forced closed, few seconds later it started running again. I never opened google music since I got the phone. I prefer stock music player. So what I did was disable that app since I can't uninstall it.
Same as OP here.
Going into Application manager and clearing the cache for the Google programs (as mentioned earlier) seems to work well...temporarily at least.
Not getting the google services drain, but the new map update added some bull**** wakelock called nlpcollector.. no clue what its doing but its keeping the phone awake about 8 mins out of every hour. Uninstalled the update and it stopped... wtf google?
Installed and ran "Better battery stats" and took a look at the "wakelock" and it Network Location Locator that eating up my battery. I also have a HTC one and the battery lasts all day but the S4 barely makes it till noon.

Thnxs. Turned that setting off but it still drained.....Figured it out. It was a setting in location that says 'wifi and mobile location' that was causing a drain. Turned it off and only lost 3% over night instead of the 20% I usually lost before. The only thing is that now Google Now wont work unless the setting is turned on. But I can live with it for now till an update comes out.

Massive battery drain

Hey guys. Recently my battery has been dying at an alarming rate. According to BBS it's from a process called diagnostics.client.Wakelock, does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?
I started noticing the drain after setting up my Galaxy Gear, don't know if that may have something to do with it.

I am facing a huge battery drain as well after the recent update was pushed. I don't have the "diagnostics.client.Wakelock" in BBS but Samsung Push Service was hogging a lot so I turned that off. It was 80% at 11PM and today morning it was down to 59% .. that's 21% in standby mode. Is it not going into sleep mode or is something else causing this? I have almost everything turned off. Any ideas guys? Thank you.
MJ7? (not sure why but like other people remarked - the battery life looks to have somewhat declined - 30-60% less?)

Yes MJ7. I hope this is a bug that can get fixed sooner than later. It's horrible. I just got 1h 37mins of screen time and now I am down to 12%. Just a few calls and some Instagram. Nothing else. Would removing the battery for a while or something help? I haven't installed any app since updating to MJ7 (2 days ago).
I've had this issue with MI7 and MJ7 so the update is not the problem. My guess is me freezing most of the samsung bloat on the phone through Titanium is causing this. Maybe there's a process trying to find something thay I froze?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I fixed it by charging my battery up to 90% then removed the battery and kept it aside for a while ~10 mins and then plugged it back in and charged it to 100%. Now it seems to be normal again. No drain last night. Moved only 1% from 12AM to 9PM. Cheers!
I have the same issue with MJ7 firmware; the phone sometimes doesn't get into deep sleep while the screen is off.
A possible cause of the issue: switch off wifi when data are off.
So now I switch data on before turning wifi off.
Anyone ever find a solution to this? It's killing me.
Same here, my battery declines almos 1% every 5 minutes just texting via Whatsapp and I know Whatsapp is not the guilty. Using Wakelock monitor shows 30% Android System usage with a lot of entries in Gpslocationprovider (even with GPS off and everything on Location settings off), SyncloopWakelock and AlarmManager... MJ7 here too... My Note2 wasn't like this... I finished the day with 5% of baterry after heavy use from 8am til 10pm (including 45' watching videos)... With my Note3 at mid-day I have my battery death!! I can't believe it! and I don't know what is happening (I only have 4 days with my new Note 3) and I have tried almost everything (deactivating) except wipe data/factory reset (I've tried soft reset and nothing)
Anyone ever find a solution to this wakelock?

I decided to take more drastic action by doing a factory reset and restoring apps one by one. I first used Kingo Root to root my GN3. I had to uninstall Kies and the Samsung driver to get the rooting to work.
Then I backed up with Helium and Titanium backup.
After a factory reset, my battery usage was about 0.2 percent per hour. I use only data and no wifi.
I have now restored most of my apps and still have 0.3 percent per hour usage. I have not updated any Samsung or ATT apps.except for ATT code scanner. i have not "used" any of the google apps except for gmail, search, google+ (signed out). Google music is turned off.
Diagnostics.client.wakelock still shows up but with low time now.
After twelve hours, the GN3 is at 96 percent including a two minute phone call and email updates.
------
After a long phone call, I once again saw my battery usage increase and stay up after the phone call.
-----
I re-started with a factory reset and only restored the minimum apps that I use to browse, email, text, phone, and backup.
So far it is performing well in battery usage.
I will be adding more apps until I find the one that breaks the good performance.
-----
So far I have been able to make it through 24 hours using only TEN percent battery usage. I have added TextPlus, BofA, drippler, Helium, Titanium Backup Pro, CPU Spy Plus, Wakelock Detector, System Tuner Pro, Battery Monitor Pro, AutoBluetooth, Maps, Youtube, YP, Total Commander, Visual Voicemail, Quick Boot, Root Checker, Turn Off Screen. Everything else is stock without updating AT&T apps or Samsung apps.
I am seeing an idle usage of less than 0.3% and that is with two widgets for Battery Monitor and System Tuner. They and Textplus use up the most power. I also talked on the phone via bluetooth for about 30 minutes.
I still get the diagnostic.client.wakelog but only getting about 5 percent awake time.
-----
I did another factory reset. This time I did not allow any app updates.
I installed Titanium Backup, CPU Spy Plus, Wakelock Detector, Battery Monitor Widget Pro.
I have not seen a diagnostic.client.wakelock at all after one hour of use.
-----
I added TextPlus, System Tuner Pro. I put the widgets to System Tuner pro and Battery Monitor on the home screen.
I have not updated any apps since the reset.
I have counted about 7 diagnostic.client.wakelocks for a total of 4 seconds of wake time. My wake time percentage since yeaterday is around 1 percent.
I plan to update apps one at a time to see which one kills the battery usage with wake locks.
I just added AT&T Visual Voicemail, PayPal, BofA, and Evernote to my GN3.
The diagnostics.client.wakelock started climbing and keeping my phone from sleeping.
Uninstalling the four apps did not help.
I think that the problem is with the Visual Voicemail.
----
Factory reset my phone and am back to 1 percent wake state and very low battery drain.
----
The cause of the bad wakelock was due to restoring APP+DATA in Titanium Backup. I did that to save setup steps.
I had restored BofA and Shazam with data and the wakelocks started up.
After I factory reset again, I installed apps the normal way and have been seeing a 0.3 percent use per hour.
Samsung's own software is most garbage in my opinion.
If you use ChatOn and Samsung Hub, etc, disabling this may have an impact.
Here's how I've solved the problem with this pig of an app.
1) go to application manager under settings.
2) go to the "ALL" tab
3) find that "samsung push service"
4) uninstall - this will only uninstall the updates. Once all the very useful updates are gone, the option changes to disable.
5) disable and good riddance.
On a side note, search for this on the playstore. the reviews are hilarious.

Nothing I had tried up to today has fixed my battery drain and diagnostics.client.wakelock issue.
However, today, I got a software update OTA (nb4) on my phone and it appears the problem is fixed.
